tees

Just because we’re well into fall doesn’t mean our clothing has to match the season’s dreary mood and weather. That said, there’s still an art to mastering autumn pops of color, and it’s important to look on-trend and fall-festive without looking like you’ve time traveled from Spring 2011 (or worse – the 90s). Thankfully, Current/Elliott’s brand-spanking-new fall offerings, available now at Revolve Clothing, serve up a satisfying mix between cool grays, charcoals, and worn-in neutrals to provide the perfect contrast to more fun eye-popping pieces like colorful tees and fall-appropriate printed denim. After all, it’s all about balance, and it’s easy to serve as your own stylist and mix-and-match from the line’s upscale basic tees and denim for a look that’s comfortable and nearly effortless, but still perfectly put-together. Not ready to say goodbye to colorful denim? Try fall’s bold cords paired with a more low-key slouchy gray tee and a goes-with-everything black leather jacket. Looking to switch it up? The moto jacket also comes in an in-your-face lime shade, so try layering it over an equally colorful tee paired with some charcoal skinny jeans to bring your look full circle. Check out the rest ofCurrent/Elliott’s latest releases over on Revolve Clothing!

Our friends at Boy Meets Girl are known for always doing a rad job of spreading breast cancer awareness with the help of their super-cute collection of tees and their partnership with the Young Survivor Coalition, the premier global organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and empowering young women facing the unique challenges of breast cancer.

Five fun and fabulous tees for a great cause. For the Breast Cancer Awareness month of October, Boy Meets Girl has teamed up with the Young Survival Coallition where every one of these five stylishly designed graphic t-shirts by Boy Meets Girl® will donate 10% from each sale to the Young Survival Coalition – a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and education to young women with breast cancer. Breast Cancer Awareness really hits home with the ladies of Boy Meets Girl, losing their friend Kristen Martinez at the age of 35 after a five year battle with the disease. In 2008 and 2010, with their collaboration with Urban Outfitters, the team was able to donate $13,000 by selling the BCA Boy Meets Girl Tote. For 2011, they’re hoping to provide more donations towards a cure with the “Andi-ee” tee, “Possible-tee” tee, “Up All Night” tee, “Drama Queen” tee, and the “Naughty and Nice” tee. With their spunky colors, cheeky graphics, and funky design it’s easy to help out a great cause and make a fabulous fashion statement whether you’re walking around campus or running errands. It’s not too late to do your good deed this BCA month. Just click and pick your favorite! My personal pick is the “Naughty and Nice” tee. With the words “Bad Girls Eat Candy” printed across the front, it’s hard not to become a favorite for a sweet tooth driven, sugar-lover like myself.

Calling all gals on the go! Especially those who find the concept of “packing light” a serious challenge! Boy Meets Girl® Summer 2011 Collection, created by fashionista Stacy Igel, is all about taking inspiration from the intrepid traveler. When you’re off exploring the world this summer, whether you’re expanding your mind or just relaxing and soaking up the sun (or maybe both!), keeping track of mountains of clothes and multiple wardrobe changes should definitely be the least of your worries. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look cute, even if the closest thing to a vacation you’ll get to this summer is a dip in your neighborhood pool! Take the Zoe Tee, one of the collection’s signature basics. Alone it may seem like just a cute comfy tee, but paired with any of the Summer 2011 staples, from jersey dresses and harem pants to high-waisted shorts and swingy skirts, it becomes the foundation for 5 different summer-ready outfits. Not convinced? Shop the looks on the Boy Meets Girl® online store, and see what other combinations you can come up with using looks from the funky-fun summer line!

Despite its main lingerie-inspired appeal, lace has taken the fashion world by storm (no matter what the season!) because of its unique affinity for layering, its ability to let you leave just the right amount to the imagination while still preserving a sense of sophistication, and of course, its undeniable sexiness. While we eased into the trend with traditional black, white, cream lace neutrals in the form of dresses, sheer tees, and bralettes for that little peek of laciness, as summer approaches, we fashionistas are definitely ready for brighter takes on the trend! After all, while it may be wedding season, all-out white lace can definitely translate to “Like a Virgin,” and lets face it — all-black lace in the summer time may have you looking more funeral-ready than fashionable. Summer-festive neons and bold punchy lace tees are cropping up everywhere I look nowadays, perfect for adding a little good-natured sex appeal to a pair of wild printed pants, silky shorts, or a swingy feminine skirt. Layer over a cropped tank or solid camisole, or even over a bathing suit for a day at the beach if you’re feeling extra confident!

As a multi-tasker, I love finding pieces that allow me to stay comfortable (especially in the sweltering late-summer heat!) and add a little something stylish to my casual-cool wardrobe (yes, you could say I like having my cake and eating it too when it comes to fashion). After all, what fashionable girl doesn’t love pieces that allow her to feel comfy and have a little sex appeal to boot? As a warm-weather staple (no, it’s not too late to buy summer tops!), I swear by slouchy off-the-shoulder tees. Think of showing a little shoulder as the more casual, daytime alternative version of a plunging neckline that’s just as sexy because it’s totally effortless. It’s a little undone and a tad messy with that just-threw-this-on flair, but that’s what makes it chic! Show off sun-kissed shoulders with a loose, single-strap top like this one by Ella Moss, or go for a slightly flirtier version like this Kimchi Blue tee from Urban Outfitters. Or, for a bit of dressier embellishment, I love this Michael Stars sequined top or this zipper-detailed one by Juicy Couture, which can both be dressed up with leggings and a pair of heels for a more upscale look!

I can bet my life that everyone has at least one basic t-shirt in their closet. The wardrobe staple is an essential for a good foundation in most outfits much like the perfect pair of jeans. More than likely your t-shirts are made of cotton but it may be worthwhile to invest in a silk or silk-blend tee! The super luxe fabric usually reserved for scarves, chic blouses or slinky dresses. But the glamorous fabric can also translate to an everyday look as well.

I’ve found that silk tees are designed with a loose fit. That means you can pair the tee with skinny jeans or leggings for a effortlessly chic look. One of my first picks is the silk and modal t-shirt by Kain for that perfect semi-sheer look. Add a shawl collar vest, leggings and peep toe booties for a rock ‘n roll look. A word of warning though, make sure you read the cleaning instructions because silk tees are usually handwash or dry clean only!

This week, we were trying to find some cool, organic cotton t-shirts to look stylish at our upcoming summer bbqs. Lucky for us, we came across TopoRanch.com in our search. This California based store offers a distinct urban yet rustic look whose tees would look great with a pair of jeans.

When you first access the site, you’ll be intrigued by their flying gopher logo but you’ll also be quickly sucked in by their clean simple designs. These 100% organic cotton tees are subtle in statement but high on detail. Each shirt has a taped neck seam, contrast stitching, and is wringer washed for comfort. Check ‘em out!
